Reading Partners Interview Questions
& Process

So it was a three step process. First I had to submit my application. Then I had a 15 minute phone call. After that, there was a 3 hour video interview with a panel of three people. They all asked questions, even though two of them weren't the hiring managers. They were taking notes the whole time to share with their team.

The entire interview process lasted over three months. It started with a 45-minute phone screen. Then there were two 1-hour panel interviews. The final stage involved writing an essay about a hypothetical situation without access to company policies for research, which was then discussed in the last panel interview. They took over three weeks to decide on the results, mentioning they were interviewing other candidates. I was initially told I'd hear back the week of April 3rd, but didn't. I had to chase the recruiter the week of April 10th and received an automated rejection. Considering the 10+ week process, I felt my time and effort were not respected, making it the worst interview experience I've had.

The interview process started with a screening call, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Then, I interviewed with the hiring manager and a VP. After that, there was a take-home assignment, which didn't have a stipend. The process wrapped up with an interview panel with peers. The people I interacted with seemed mission-oriented and asked thoughtful questions. Overall, the process dragged on for nearly two months and took up about 10 hours of my time. Like others have mentioned, I never got a decision after the final interview, and the job keeps getting reposted. It's disappointing not to receive even a basic notification about not getting the job after putting in so much effort. I'm not sure if it's due to indecisiveness in hiring, bureaucratic hurdles, or a disregard for candidates' time, or maybe a combination of all these. If you're serious about getting a job and have other, more responsive or respectful options, I'd suggest being cautious about going through their hiring process.

It was a really friendly interview process. The HR rep was super communicative and always on time. This was for an AmeriCorps position way back in 2015. First, there were some video questions you had to do (don't stress about them, just take a breath, smile, and look at your screen's camera so it looks like you're making eye contact). Then, there were a couple of in-person interviews with the Program Managers (there were 2 or 3 of them), and they were all really nice. The whole thing took about a month, so make sure you check your emails regularly and don't overthink all the people they CC you on.
